THE WESTERN PRESENTS - EP02: Sereen Omran

Sereen Omran is a Muslim musician, filmmaker, and TikTokker based in Padstow, who directed and wrote her debut short film, Towel Head. A musical comedy-drama set in Southwest Sydney, Sereen’s film reflects on the adversities faced by female Muslim artists, while also promoting messages of empowerment through self-love for one’s identity. We chat with the multi-talented artist about her early experiences with cinema, her influences for Towel Head, and the importance of good self-representation in Western media. A must-listen for Western Sydney filmmakers! Towel Head is available to watch for FREE on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFEYbloCCeI SEREEN OMRAN Instagram/TikTok: @sereensounds Hosted and edited by Nicole Cadelina (@ni.muy) Music by Amorist (@_deathtonostalgia_) Original recording date: June 24, 2021
